The building was badly damaged in World War II; it was restored with a much simpler façade and re-opened in 1950 with Wagner's opera Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg. Notable directors included Erwin Piscator, Jean-Louis Barrault, , Hansgünther Heyme. Caspar Neher became head of design in 1927 and designed here eight operas and 11 plays.
